We're dividing 877998 by 78 
We want to divide 877998 by 78.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 78 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 78

Moving on to step 2:
The number 78 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 78 from 87 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 78

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 97 by 78, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 78 away from 97, we end up with 19.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 199 / 78

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 78 fits into 199 2 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 112.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 156 from 199.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 439 / 78

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 439 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 49.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1125.0
Subtracting 390 from 439 leaves us with 49.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 498 / 78

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 498 by 78, we get 6 with a remainder of 30.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11256.0
Deduct 468 from 498 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 78 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11256.3
If we take 234 away from 300, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 660 by 78, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11256.38
If we subtract 624 from 660, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 78 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11256.384
Subtract 312 from 360 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 78 fits into 480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11256.3846
If we take 468 away from 480, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
78 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11256.38461
If we take 78 away from 120, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 420 by 78, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11256.384615
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 390 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 78, we get 3 and a remainder of 66.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11256.3846153
If we take 234 away from 300, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
78 goes into 660 8 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11256.38461538
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 624 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11256.38461538 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
